I have AS and a 5 month old baby. Because of the AS I am very isolated. My health visitor referred me to the council's family support unit (a bit like Sure Start but part of social services) and a lady comes round from there every couple of weeks to chat and help me with stuff. Because of the isolation my occupational therapist suggested I go to the local mum and baby group. I can't do it on my own so the support worker said she would go with me. We went today.
She said it was a drop in group so we arrived part way through. Everyone was sat on the floor in a circle together. Then she said something along the lines of 'This is Westie, she would like to join the group. I'm M and I work for social services supporting families in need. Westie has AS so doesn't get out much and doesn't know anyone and we think this would be really good for her and her baby'. She said this to the entire room. A room full of complete strangers.
I sat down and waited for the ground to open up and swallow me. Thankfully my baby fell asleep after about 15 minutes and I used this as an excuse to escape.
